In the given figure,a solid cylinder of mass $m_2$ and radius $R$ is suspended by a string wrapped around it,which passes over a fixed pulley of mass $m_1$ and radius $R$. If the linear acceleration of the solid cylinder is $a_2$ and there is no slipping,what is its angular acceleration $\alpha_2$?

  • A
    $\frac{a_2}{R}$
  • B
    $\frac{a_2 + g}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{2(a_2 + g)}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{2(g - a_2)}{R}$
